Nice set up. What skimmer you using? Any pics of it. I need a skimmer for mine!
How are things going now? I have the same tank up and running since August.
Nice set up! Looking great so far!
I couldn’t help notice, you put the sand in first and rocks on top of the sand. When I first started someone advised me on putting rocks in first and the sand around it to not risk the sand moving and rocks shifting.. has anyone had this happen to them and have your rocks tumble because of it?
I believe in my first posts you can see that I did place the rock first for the reason you noted. I have not had this happen, but I find it better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks,
Jake
Looking good Jake.
We got matchy matchy conch snails haha.
Btw - have you heard of RFG nozzles? I replaced my spinstreams with RFGs as soon as I found out about them.
Yeah - sometimes, but the micro bubble isn't consistent.
It all came down to the flow rate. Spin streams, from my experience reduced the flow rate of the return pump in half. I guess not a biggie since you run a MP-10.
Whereas the RFG nozzles doesn't seem to cut the flow rate at all. Also, with zero moving parts to clean or malfunction, it does a really good job in creating a circular flow motion. No noise, no fuss, nada.
I also, got the drop adapters. This is how the RFG nozzles and adapters look like.
I just moved mine from one end of the room to the other... it was relatively easy with 2 people.
The foam bottom that it comes with was stuck to the stand-top I guess because of the paint. So over time it kind of bonded. I didn't bother trying to remove it, so my wife and I just lifted the top and moved it.
My best advice is if you have any extra plywood board laying around. Cut it to be about 2" wider all around and lay the tank on top of it and move the tank with the board. Easier to handle and laying it on surfaces and etc... so you don't have to worry about cracking the bottom.
